And whats Bentley done in the last 3-4 years which would want us to sign him on loan??

Not saying he'd be a success, but I do think there is still a real desire to impress by Bentley. He's off playing for some no mark Russian team at the moment I believe on a 6 month loan, more than willing to drop down a division last year before getting badly injured.

No doubt he's as cocky as they come, and probably short of a few brain cells, but he's never really been shy of hard work.

what have rovers?

Paulo Sousa I think. Just a hunch, seems like it fits all criteria amongst fans and what THEY would want.

With the next "Portuguese Golden Generation" ready and waiting for him!

[greco]

Didnt he play for benfica, juventus and dortmund.? A defensive midfielder positionwise and a little bit like tugay in his style, iirc.

Has he managed a team and where.?

Partly my thinking of him being my shout... I'm not saying it's him or he's my shout but he seems to fit into this situation perfectly.

He doesn't have PL exp, though. And Shebby always keeps his word.

...and Leicester, although he didn't last very long there. Should have stayed at the Swans, where he continued the free flowing style of his predecessor Roberto Martinez and got them toughened up at the back. Would be a good fit with Nuno as his number 2...

Anyways, keep you're money in your pockets folks... Just a cheeky guess.

Ah the criteria of being a crap manager? I guess he would meet that. Venky's going for the hat-trick?

For the Barnsley job, perhaps. Nottingham isn't that far from Barnsley and even if Hill had got something from our match it was just a matter of waiting for an excuse to fire him I think.

I'll swap you 9 pairs of socks for 2 Maltesers.

So this is what Christmas has come too

I think O'Driscoll would be a great choice and a logical one too. So we can rule him out!

[greco]

anyone know why he stopped at swansea and leicester.?

Had absolutely no idea, that he managed those clubs

Got fired from Leicester due to winning 1 game in 9 (sound familiar)

Left Swans for Leicester I think, dud really well for Swansea too if I remember correctly

Calling Berg a crap manager is a little harsh. Yes, his time here wasn't great, but it's a tough situation anyway and the first few games we played very well.

O'Driscoll would be great.

He also managed QPR. He was a top class defensive midfielder, one of the best of his generation. I thought he would make it as a good manager and started well at Swansea, but it hasn't really worked out.

The club go see him as a cost cutting option as they could get rid of the Portugese translator!

Nooooooo chance!

Plus didn't he already rule himself out of dropping down a division when Forest were linked? Might not be true but that's what the reporter on SSN said.

[CapeTownRover]

Would have liked to have seen Glenn Hoddle here, but not sure what is the view on him. I think he is a very good manager, but like Curbs, been out of football for a long time now.

According to the Lancs Telegraph, Shebby/Rovers are hopefully of appointing a new manager by tomorrow.

its says that Shebby has already send his favoured candidates to Owners venkys

If they're only at the shortlisting stage, tomorrow sounds a little ambitious ( especially for Venky's ).

Would be interesting to see who's on Shebby's list.

[John]

I can't see how they can expect to appoint a new manager tomorrow unless it is already done and dusted.

And if it has been done, surely it would have leaked.

[Kelbo]

I do hope this is not going to be a hasty decision to try and fit the timescale Singh has quoted, I would rather wait a couple of days and get the right man in!!
